Dividends, Distributions, Etc 7.1 Lender shall be entitled to receive all distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities the record dates for which occur during the term of the Loan (or the record date for which occurs at a time following return of Loaned Securities upon termination of the Loan but prior to re-registration thereof in the name of Lender or its designee in the normal course) and which are not otherwise received by Lender, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Loaned Securities had not been lent to Borrower, including, but not limited to: (a) all property (including cash dividends and all other distributions of cash or property), (b) stock dividends and bonus issues, (c) securities received as a result of split ups of the Loaned Securities and distributions in respect thereof, (d) interest payments, (e) all rights to purchase additional securities, and (f) payments upon maturity or other redemption.
7.2 Any cash distributions made on or in respect of the Loaned Securities, which Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.1, shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue for the Loaned Securities, unless otherwise agreed) to Lender by Borrower on the relevant payment date therefor, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provisions of Section 7.6), so long as Lender is not then in Default. Non-cash distributions received by Borrower shall be added to the Loaned Securities (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and shall be considered such for all purposes, except that if the Loan has terminated, Borrower shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender.
7.3 So long as Loaned Securities have not been returned to Lender and re-registered in the name of Lender or its nominee, the parties agree that all rights arising in respect of conversions, subdivisions, consolidations, redemptions, takeovers, preemptions, options or other rights shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall be deemed to have been exercised for the benefit of Lender in accordance with Lender’s prior instructions to Borrower. Borrower will use its best efforts to seek instructions from Lender with respect to each of the foregoing at such time and in such manner as to be able to act timely in accordance with such instructions. Borrower’s obligation to remit distributions and to return Loaned Securities upon the termination of the Loan shall be made after giving full effect to such instructions, irrespective of the extent of Borrower’s compliance with such instructions.
7.4 Borrower shall be entitled to receive all cash distributions made on or in respect of non-cash Collateral the record or payment dates for which occur during the term of the Loan and which are not otherwise received by Borrower, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Collateral had not been delivered to Lender. Any distributions made on or in respect of such Collateral which Borrower is entitled to receive hereunder shall be paid by the transfer of cash (denominated in the currency of issue of the non-cash Collateral, unless otherwise agreed) by Lender to Borrower, upon the date of Lender’s receipt, in an amount equal to such cash distribution (subject to the provision of Section 7.6), so long as Borrower is not then in Default.
7.5 Lender shall not be required to take any action pursuant to Section 7.4 to the extent that, as a result of such action, Borrower would become obligated to transfer Collateral to Lender under Section 8.
(a) If (i) Borrower is required to make a payment (a “Borrower Payment”) with respect to cash distributions on Loaned Securities under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (“Securities Distributions”) and (ii) Borrower, Borrower’s custodian or Lender (“Payor”) shall be required by law to collect any withholding or other tax required to be deducted or withheld from such Borrower Payment (“Tax”), then Borrower shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount of the Borrower Payment received by Lender for the benefit of the Affected Account, after payment of such Tax equals the net amount of the Securities Distribution that would have been received by the Affected Account if such Securities Distribution had been paid directly to it, provided, however, that any Borrower Payment shall also take into account (and Borrower shall pay such additional amounts which reflect) the value to the Affected Account (as notified, orally or in writing, by Lender to Borrower) of any tax refund, reclaim or credit which such Affected Account would otherwise have been entitled to had it not lent the securities to Borrower but instead had retained ownership thereof.
(b) If Lender is required to make a payment (“Lender Payment”) with respect to distributions on Collateral under Section 7.4 (“Collateral Distributions”), Lender shall pay to Borrower the net amount of the Collateral Distribution which Borrower would have received had it not pledged the Collateral and such Collateral Distribution had instead been paid directly by the applicable issuer(s) to Borrower.
(c) Each party shall supply to the other such tax information as may be requested by the other to enable it to effect the Borrower Payment or Lender Payment in the required amount, computed as per the immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.
Payment of Dividends Any dividend or other distribution payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque, made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, and mailed to the address of the shareholder, or in the case of joint shareholders, to the address of the joint shareholder who is first named on the central securities register, or to the person and to the address the shareholder or joint shareholders may direct in writing. The mailing of such cheque will, to the extent of the sum represented by the cheque (plus the amount of the tax required by law to be deducted), discharge all liability for the dividend unless such cheque is not paid on presentation or the amount of tax so deducted is not paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

Dividends, Etc The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend of any kind, in cash or in property, on any class of its capital stock, nor purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any shares of such stock, nor make any distribution of any kind in respect thereof, nor make any return of capital to shareholders, nor make any payments in respect of any pension, profit sharing, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, incentive compensation or similar plan (except as required or permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.
Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions To enable each Fund to pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders of each such Fund and to make payment to shareholders who have requested repurchase or redemption of their shares of each such Fund (collectively, the "Shares"), the Custodian shall release cash or Securities insofar as available. In the case of cash, the Custodian shall, upon the receipt of Instructions, transfer such funds by check or wire transfer to any account at any bank or trust company designated by each such Fund in such Instructions. In the case of Securities, the Custodian shall, upon the receipt of Special Instructions, make such transfer to any entity or account designated by each such Fund in such Special Instructions.
Cash Dividends or Distributions If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
